Hello,

My brother was looking at upgrading RAM on his T9600 macbook pro. My question is, does this model support 1333 Mhz RAM, or just 1067? I wanted to know for sure before upgrading. I checked the page on intel, but did not see a section for 'memory specifications" <http://ark.intel.com/products/35563/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9600-%286M-Cache-2_80-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB%29>

When I upgraded the ram on my early 2011 MBP, I was able to find out on the website that it supported 1600 under 'memory specifications'. <http://ark.intel.com/products/50067/Intel-Core-i7-2720QM-Processor-%286M-Cache-2_20-GHz%29>
Any immediate feedback would be greatly appreciated because of cyber monday prices. Thanks.
 
My MacBook Pro 5,2 supports 1333 MHz RAM, or at least shows it as 1333 MHz RAM.

yeh it'l show 1333, but it will run at 1066(1067) MHz. my core 2 duo 2009 17" macbook pro shows 1333MHz aswell, but is doesn't run at that speed. I tested the RAM and the data throughput was the same as my other macs with 1066.
